Re: In slow motion
Yeah, that was the only thing I couldn’t catch. Is it even a word, or a woah oh! sound?
Re: In slow motion
What a lovely, wan, semi-comatose reflection on the mundanity of it all. It's world-weary and effervescent at the same time. That contrast is one of their calling cards.
Neil's often at his best in his deliberate, cooly enunciated spoken word incarnation, and here, it seems to me, he outs himself as the boulevardier we always knew him to be, this time observing his inner self rather than those around him. I really like the ethereal, almost anaesthethised ambience and the growing excitement that develops as the song progresses. Is our disenchanted dandy about to shake off the shackles and have one last fling?
By some distance the outstanding discovery of the reissues so far - though I'm partial to Dancing in the Dusk, Reunion, and One-Way Street, it has to be said. And verbiage. That too.

Re: In slow motion
It has the feel of vintage PSB. The 'I'm looking for someone...' middle-8 even recalls Please.
At least, that is the perspective of this failed flâneur.....

Re: In slow motion
This song is superb!

Re: In slow motion
I love it. Brilliant
It definitely should have been on the Elysium album imo. Way better than the three tracks I hate

Re: In slow motion
Is there any chance - now that this is gonna end up on a FL disc - that it gets into the hands of a future producer of theirs and gets polished up for an album? It's a truly wonderful piece of music.
Have a look at my taste in music:

That’s the thing about negative energy, about hatred. It can be positive. It throws into relief all the things you know you like. It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration; it makes you think, “What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.” Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd. - Neil Tennant

Re: In slow motion
Unless I’m misunderstanding you... it is on the upcoming “Elysium” reissue.Pete13 wrote: ↑Fri 06 Oct 2017, 2:00 pmI doubt it!NikacP0kac wrote: ↑Fri 06 Oct 2017, 1:22 pm Is there any chance - now that this is gonna end up on a FL disc - that it gets into the hands of a future producer of theirs and gets polished up for an album?

Re: In slow motion
It would have been superb on “Elysium”
Just my opinion, but I’d leave “Hold On” on.

Re: In slow motion
I agree re Dancing in the Dusk, Reunion, and One-Way Street. Excellent songs.
One-Way Street works particularly well alongside Girls don't cry
It's a bloody crime (when you look the way you do) that songs like Slow Motion don't make it onto what is a sublime album (Elysium) when Winner and Hold On do)
